    Many are 24/7.

    Lies detected.

      Are you saying that there are not many McDonalds that advertise 24/7 service, or that they advertise this but don’t actually provide it?

        I’ve never seen any mcdonalds advertise or service 24/7 schedules. Not since the pandemic.

        Walmart and Target stopped too.

        Walgreens/CVS is the only thing I know that still does 24/7.

          I live in New Zealand and there are many 24/7 McDonalds in busy areas. Clicking randomly on their NZ map it’s pretty easy to find them: https://mcdonalds.co.nz/find-us/restaurants

          It’s the same with Australia: https://mcdonalds.com.au/find-us/restaurants

          Actually, the same for the US. It’s not hard to find 24/7 ones (you need to search for a city before they show on the map): https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/restaurant-locator.html

          This was my perception as well. Then I moved a couple states away and suddenly everything’s 24/7 like the old days. I suppose it’s regional.
